DRKRM - Mini Arm Bag
GinBerlin replied to GinBerlin's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
@CastleLeatherWorks and @LatigoAmigo thanks a lot for your time and feedback! I really really appreciate. I plan to sell it mostly for festivals and raves It's more like a statement bag, don't have big usage apart from that But it's true that I realized it's hard to fit it for people who doesn't have accentuated upper arms For the pricing I am really hesitating, I made everything from top quality materials, stainless steel metal parts and so But after questioning some target audience, they don't know about quality differences in leather I made another prototype from Lefa Leather this week, looks the same but I l know that after a few times of usage it will be garbage... -
My first item... planning to sell it online Made from Veg Tan Top Grain Leather, strap 4mm, bag 2.8mm What should be the price range for such an item? Please let me know what you think! https://www.instagram.com/drkrm.berlin/

How do I avoid cracks when bending leather - Example of Small Bag
GinBerlin replied to GinBerlin's topic in How Do I Do That?
Wow the leather looks really nice Just that I'm using a laser cutter so can only work with Vegetable Tanned leathers But will do some research and see if I can find it here in Germany, or something similar Thanks a lot for all the support! Greetings from Berlin -
How do I avoid cracks when bending leather - Example of Small Bag
GinBerlin replied to GinBerlin's topic in How Do I Do That?
Dear @Dwight and @sonnyboone, Thanks a lot for your quick answers I have tried to put some olive oil and waited 5 min before bending the top part. The result is already much better. Less wrinkles and acceptable I guess. I'll try the same mini-bag with a thinner leather and share the results here also. Actually I try to reproduce an item that I found online, you can see bellow. It uses I think 3mm leather for the belt part and 2mm for bag, I could find only WALPIER BUTTERO which are in those sizes. Do you know what else can I use as leather which has similar look/properties? Any recommendations would be very valuable Thanks again for your support! -
Hello it's Gin. I'm trying to make a small bag, using WALPIER BUTTERO - BLACK 100 - 2.0/2.2mm leather that I bought online. When I bend the top of the bag (even after 1 times) it has a lot of cracks and looks used for long time. How can avoid this? should I oil/wet the leather? Thanks in advance for your comments and help! Best regards from Berlin!
